I had my surgery on February 15 & I’ve already lost 17lbs. So far no issues with nausea or vomiting. So far so good. If I keep this up I’ll be in my swimsuit by summer!🤗👙

Yes,my measurments are going down. I had to go down one size in my pants but that number not moving is driving me crazy.. Sent from my LM-V405 using BariatricPal mobile app

And it's a really great feeling afterwards when your surgeon tells you the surgery was a breeze! That's what it's all about..shrink that liver!

Yeah I'm sipping from a cup now. But I take a full breath and exhale before I drink so I don't get in as much air. Sent from my SM-G955U using BariatricPal mobile app

I wore my loosest pair of yoga pants and they were a tight fit when I went home. I had to roll the top down a lot for an easier car ride home. Aside from what the others have said I wish I would have brought a pillow as the one provided I wasn't able to use so I was never truly comfortable in bed.

I have never had any issues before with my gallbladder until now so that’s weird definitely has to be part of the surgery

I am down 45 lbs in just 2 months after having sleeve surgery . It’s been pretty steady with occasional stalls. My appetite is non existent as long as I get my protein in . I work out a lot and am able to do all I need to on 800 calories a day . I stick with at least one protein drink a day to ensure I get enough protein .

I see fast and slow weight loss with each type of surgery. Many factors, age, sex, medical issues, hormones, medication and complications. 60% of your excess weight is the average weight loss with the sleeve. Whatever procedure you choose, try not to get caught up in how fast you lose. Even if you are a slower loser, you will still lose weight. Also, don’t compare your weight loss with the rates of others. It will make you crazy. Have I noticed weight loss can be slow with the sleeve? My weight loss was fast with the sleeve. I got to my goal of 140 in six months. I’m four and a half years out and maintain in the 130’s

I assume its three shakes plus the foods you have mentioned in your post? You could try make a fairly basic ricotta bake adapting to the egg and ricotta cheese amounts you are able to have. When I was on my pre-op diet which allowed only three shakes and low carb vegetables, a few times if I needed something different I would have cottage cheese or chicken in place of the shake but made sure it was to the same calorie count or protein amount as the shake. I would have the low carb veges with it. It wasn't the right thing to do, and I certainly don't want to encourage you to do it, but it did save my sanity and kept me on track for some of the time, unfortunately I wasn't the best pre-op person, thankfully I am much better at post op haha

Call your surgeon's answering service. Pain high in your back after surgery is gas, but this far out, that is unlikely. You need to rule out a leak or gallbladder issues.
